An attendee at the Republican National Convention in Tampa on Tuesday allegedly threw nuts at a black camerawoman working for CNN and said “This is how we feed animals” before being removed from the convention, a network official confirmed to TPM.

The CNN official declined to confirm specific details of the incident to TPM but generally confirmed an account posted on Twitter by former MSNBC and Current anchor David Shuster: “GOP attendee ejected for throwing nuts at African American CNN camera woman + saying ‘This is how we feed animals.’”

It is not clear whether the alleged culprit was a delegate or attending the convention in some other capacity.

In a written statement, CNN addressed the matter but divulged few details: “CNN can confirm there was an incident directed at an employee inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum earlier this afternoon. CNN worked with convention officials to address this matter and will have no further comment.”

TPM’s calls to RNC and convention officials were not immediately returned.

Where are all those black republicans who tweeted after that article was written that Romney had 0% of the black vote? You are supporting people who think you are less than human you fu*king morons! Where's jacc blacc saying black people are brainwashed for not voting republican?

I mean lets forget about all the change that the current president did end two wars ? Expanded Healthcare ? Got the guy who twas responsible for 9/11 instead of saying it ? Nuclear stock pile reduction with Russia ? Mortgage relief . Saved GM in essence saved a whole State from going under..... no that sucks I agree lets just vote him out NOW !!! He sucks for the country !!! . See past the color of his skin .

Listen to the lyrics it is ether ... Basically saying work hard build your own business dont be lazy and expect handouts from govt work!!!! Instead of being a useless pos milking the system...... Etc etc "ether"....

Lol its not ether, cause no Dem says "hey everyone should live off the gov". Thats a straw-man argument. It only illustrates how little the Republicans have to go on, all their big issues are either flat out lies or half truths. The Welfare thing=LIE, the "you didn't build that thing" this song is based off=LIE.

Most people who depend on welfare are White and live in suburbs or rural areas, a recent study shows. The findings are contrary to the popular belief that most welfare recipients are unemployed, inner-city minorities whose families have gotten public a.ssistance for generations.
